I'm using these to listen to our TV; they are connected to the headphone out. I bought them to replace my failed Sony MDR-RF4000K, but I'm not too sure if it was worth it. Compared to Sony, I can't really say there is *any* improvement, maybe only when playing GT5 - Sony had a very weird problem...

Sound fairly decent

Cut out when input volume is low; cups are too shallow for my ears, manual switch on

The sound quality provided by the Sennheiser RS 170s makes them one of the best sets of wireless headphones we've ever used.

Very good sounding headphones. 3D logic is very balanced, not overpowering or sounding artificial. Bass boost has a very good balance without sounding boomy. There is absolutely no hiss during quiet passages, during music or movies. RS 170 is great for watching TV or movies.

The Sennheiser RS 170 Headphones, feature a completely wireless system to bring you extremely portable high quality headphones, don't let the wireless fool you though, the Sennheiser RS 170 Headphones still deliver the highest possible quality by utilising Kleer's uncompressed digital wireless audio...

Crisp and clear audio; Good build quality; Wireless – Travel up to 80 metres from transmitter; Bass boost / surround sound buttons

Slow charging; Relatively expensive

THESE HEADPHONES AND BASE UNIT ARE COMFORTABLE AND WELL DESIGNED, ALSO EASY TO USE. THEIR SOUND QUALITY DOES NOT DISAPPOINT EITHER.

The Sennheiser RS 170 is priced at £179.99 although by shopping around you should be able to purchase this product nearer £140.   For this price you get a good quality headset with wireless capability.

I LOVE THESE! Crystal clear wonderful sound. Reception distance from the xmitter depends on the number of obstacles, walls, etc., between the headphones and the xmitter. Line-of-sight distance (80m, 260 ft)is farther than any other wireless headphone I have researched.

You may be wondering what a gaming website would be doing reviewing a non gaming headset but there is a method to our madness. For many years now Sony and Microsoft have not only produced two great consoles but also marketed them as not only gaming consoles but multi media hubs.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comfortable; Easy to set up

Bulky; Pricey

Just purchased these wireless headphones for use with TV, not ham radio. They replace Radio Shack wireless headphones which stopped working and fell apart. (And were VERY uncomfortable). The RS-170 is a QUALITY product and works as advertised.
